On Sunday, officers with the Shreveport Police Department responded to a reported stabbing at a home around 9:30 in the morning.

Police officers arrived at the residence located in the 2500 block of Hollywood Avenue, where the alleged stabbing occurred, and spoke to the victim.

The victim told officers that her 19-year-old daughter, Trista Schroeder, stabbed her in front of her 1-year-old while she was driving near the intersection of Hollywood and Hearne avenues.

The victim told police that her daughter pulled out a pocketknife and stabbed her multiple times in her right arm before striking her in the face several times.

The pocketknife allegedly used to stab her mother was found on the teen when police arrested her.
